Re: Kane Diving
It seems to me that Spurs players must spend hours practicing diving. Dele Allie has it down to a fine art & Kane isn't far behind him in the cheating stakes
Mo Salah got away with the most blatent dive you will ever see the other week to 'earn' a penalty, which was captured on the cameras
Do the FA do anything they promised to rid the game of this form of cheating?
Of course they do! They pick on Lanzini because he doesn't play for a top 6 club!

Hopefully when VAR comes in then the average thick headed footballer will stop this shit, if they do carry on then they get a ban and a club fine.

Re: Kane Diving
Pretty sure Salah has recently stepped up the diving, which makes me suspect Klopp's instructing him to do it.

Exactly what you expect from someone on the New Year's honours list.
A fucking motley bunch one and all

Re: Kane Diving
It was not that long ago that a player caught diving in this country was shamed. It now happens in every match and pundits condone it with this “there was contact in the box” nonsense. There is “contact” constantly all over the pitch that doesn’t mean it is a foul. The Kane incident was a blatant dive yet Danny Murphy couldn’t see it because the defender touch him!

He does that to hide his fat tongue.

"Kane's been doing it for years, remember him doing it against us to win a last min pen, think Alex Song was involved in the incident. "

Yep. We were winning 2-1 at the time with only minutes to go. The referee was Moss, hated him ever since.

Winds me up too Bernie.

They all just casually say it as if it's allowed. It's bollocks.

Entitled to go down is a phrase that grips my shit.

Kane's been doing it for years, remember him doing it against us to win a last min pen, think Alex Song was involved in the incident.

Re: Kane Diving
What really fucks me off these days is how some of the professional pundits, managers, coaches etc are so against diving (apparently) but they will condone a player going down in the box if there is contact as if making contact means it is a foul and they have the right to drop to the floor.

I'm sure it was Dyche moaning about Diving the other week and he said something like "I'm not talking about players that go down when there is contact, I'm talking about when there is no contact and a player goes down". Sorry if that is not what he said word for word but that is how I heard it and for me that is fucking horseshit.

Is exaggerating the amount of contact made, any less deceitful than simulating contact? I don't think it is and I also didn't think that "contact" automatically makes it a foul either.

Whether there is contact made or not, if you are trying to con the ref into thinking that a foul was more dangerous or serious than it actually was, it's cheating and you should be banned. End of.

Re: Kane Diving
I just find it bizarre that players are being grabbed around the chest and thrown to the ground at corners and you don't get anything then you see the likes of Salah go down without any contact and getting penalties. Then you get those who do get whacked but stay on their feet like Arnie did a few weeks ago and also get nowt.

There is a lot of strange behaviour by footballers these days.. I still can't get my head around the taking off the shirt when you score a goal and in many cases throwing the shirt to the floor, your Clubs shirt - throwing it on the floor?!?!??! You get booked for it but players still do it. Baffled by that one.

Re: Kane Diving
Both of Salah's recent dives were ridiculous, he's sussed out in the past few games he's going to get them given so he's constantly looking to go down, shame really as he's a decent player and doesn't really need to do it.

Mind you, what's the old saying, 'cheating A...'

Sven Roeder 10:56 Mon Dec 31
Re: Kane Diving
You often see it when players are chatting to teammates as they come off or lining up a free kick.
What was Kane saying to a referee that wasn’t fit to be overheard?

Footballers do it all the time now. Maybe refs should be micced up like in rugby? That might cut out a lot of the nonsense from players AND refs.

Re: Kane Diving
Danny Murphy is a reasonable pundit
As long as Spurs or Liverpool aren’t playing as then all objectivity goes out the window.

Seems the actions of a cynical cheat.

Shock. Danny Murphy said it wasn't a dive on MOTD, as there was 'contact'.
